Why the recent Climate Report was so Harsh

author: Don Beck

Here is a collection of reports about the scientific
studies being conducted around the world from
just the past few months. These are the reports
that went into the IPCC's data bank and where
from they came to their latest estimates and
projections. The first few have been published
after the Feb. 2 IPCC release.

The majority of them are from foriegn news
agencies and were never published in the US
media. Our corporate media wants you to know
every detail of a woman who decides to fly to Vegas
rather than get married. They don't care if you are
aware of the facts regarding our changing climate.

Please send this to eveywhere you can.

Starting from the most recent (from google alerts for 'climate change' and 'global warming'):

CLIMATE AND OCEAN SCIENTISTS PUT UNDER NEW SPEECH RESTRAINTS

Any Scientific Statements "of Official Interest" Must be Pre-Approved
"Under this policy, National Weather Service scientists can only give out name,
rank, serial number and the temperature" stated PEER Executive Director Jeff Ruch.

A Leading US climate scientist is considering legal action after he says he was
duped into appearing in a Channel 4 documentary that claimed man-made global
warming is a myth. Carl Wunsch, professor of physical oceanography at the
Massachusetts Institute of Technology, said the film, The Great Global Warming
Swindle, was 'grossly distorted' and 'as close to pure propaganda as anything
since World War Two'.

He says his comments in the film were taken out of context and that he would
not have agreed to take part if he had known it would argue that man-made global
warming was not a serious threat. 'I thought they were trying to educate the public
about the complexities of climate change,' he said. 'This seems like a deliberate
attempt to exploit someone who is on the other side of the issue.' He is considering
a complaint to Ofcom, the broadcast regulator.

Tundra Disappearing At Rapid Rate

"It's like it waited until conditions were just right
and then it decided to get up and run, not just
walk.".....This sets up a "positive feedback," the
same process that is associated with the rapidly
decaying Arctic ice cap.

Climate Change Impact 'underestimated due to undeclared emissions'

The UK's real impact on global warming has been
hugely underestimated, according to new research
out today.

A report published by Christian Aid reveals millions of tonnes of greenhouse gases
produced by some of the UK's top firms are not being declared.

Almost 200 million tonnes of carbon dioxide - equivalent to around one-third of the
UK's currently declared annual emissions - is missing from the annual reports of
major companies on the London Stock Exchange. But these "missing millions"
are only a small fraction of total undeclared emissions.

Believe it or not, snow PROVES global warming

And the 10 feet of snow recently dumped on communities bordering
Lake Ontario in northern New York? Those people would probably
whack you with a snow shovel if you mentioned global warming.

Nathan Currier just smiles. He likes it when people mention lake-effect
snowstorms, because it means they have walked right into his benign trap.

"Actually," he said recently, "those snowstorms are really a confirmation
of global warming. The lake used to be frozen at this time of year, which
cut down on the moisture coming off it. Now, you've got a lot of moisture
and cooler temperatures, which creates more snow."

One scientific report which was published
the day of the IPCC report shows that the
sea level rise will be much more than
stated by the IPCC. Here are excerpts
from an excellent article posted to the
Monthly Review:

Lack of lake ice a harbinger of things to come

However, the average of the past 20 years compared to previous decades
shows how the ice season is rapidly becoming shorter.

....records show the average ice season for the past 20 years
is now 95 days, a reduction of one month in the last 20 years.

"The Bush Administration's suppression of the National Assessment is
an illegal attempt to hide the impacts of global warming not just from
Congress but from the public as a whole."

Carbon dioxide rate is at highest level for 650,000 years

Carbon dioxide is the principal greenhouse gas responsible for global
warming and, in 2005, concentrations stood at 379 parts per million (ppm).
This compares to a pre-industrial level of 278 ppm, and a range over the
previous 650,000 years of between 180 and 300 ppm, the report says.

Humans have already caused so much damage to the atmosphere
that the effects of global warming will last for more than 1,000 years,
according to a summary of a climate-change report being prepared by
the world's leading scientists.

Scientists and economists have been offered $10,000 each by a
lobby group funded by one of the world's largest oil companies to
undermine a major climate change report due to be published today.
Letters sent by the American Enterprise Institute (AEI), an
ExxonMobil-funded thinktank with close links to the Bush administration,
offered the payments for articles that emphasise the shortcomings of a
report from the UN's Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC).

In the Netherlands, January temperatures were the highest since they
were first measured in 1706, the Dutch meteorological institute KNMI
said on Wednesday, averaging about 7.1 degrees Celsius -- 2.8 degrees
more than usual.

"Exxon has responded to roars of recent outrage over its anti-social antics by announcing that it has stopped funding the Competitive Enterprise Institute which has collected over $2 million from the oil giant since 1998 to weave lies about climate change - and 4-5 other groups that Exxon refused to name. Exxon's new contrition is hardly sincere. The company still continues to fund 40 other groups in its unrelenting campaign of deception... As evidence of the company's insincerity, Exxon's chief executive and CEO Rex Tillerson, on Friday told world leaders in Davos that oil companies should not be held esponsible for global warming. The blame, he argued, rests instead with the very consumers and government officials his company has spent millions of dollars manipulating and defrauding. America is a decade late in addressing the serious threat from global warming largely due to ExxonMobil's campaign of deliberate deception. ExxonMobil's conduct amounts to a war on civilization. The company can't simply sweep this legacy of fraud and villainy under the rug with a paid op-ed campaign in the New York Times, or with oily statements shifting the blame to consumers. The company needs to cease its campaign of deception completely if it is to genuinely atone for its crimes against humanity."

Scientists are very worried from their
data that shows increasing CO2 levels
that are growing faster than anticipated
and faster than the growth of emissions.

This is an article that tells it like it is.
Show this to your friends that are in
denial. It is quite disturbing but it is
loaded with irrefutable facts.

Observers in the Netherlands reported that more than 240 wild
plant species were flowering in December, along with more than
200 cultivated species. According to biologist Arnold van Vliet
of Wageningen University, this unseasonable flowering is being
caused by extremely high autumn temperatures.

This article tells of bears in Spain that for at least three years have
not hibernated, rather they stayed active because there was plenty
to eat and no need for the normal slumber. It also tells of many
other plant and wildlife abnormalities attributed to the rising
temperatures in Europe.

With the new scientific discovery
that the result of global warming
will be "abrupt climate change"
to ice age conditions (Broecker)
due to a shut down of ocean currents,
this article is a scream in the wilderness
from a scientist that has been muffled
for years by the US Government. Note
it was not printed in the US.

The Bush administration is clamping down on scientists at the
U.S. Geological Survey, the latest agency subjected to controls
on research that might go against official policy.

Scientists who work for and advise the federal government have
seen their work manipulated, suppressed, distorted, while agencies
have systematically limited public and policy maker access to
critical scientific information.
